Hi,

I'm really upset of the new address bar because I can't drag and drop anymore files to parent folder like in old file explorer address bar

Can you fix the problem in a close future update or tell me how to change this back to old version (exist in windows 11 file explorer)

The new address bar is above the tools bar (New - Cut - Copy - etc), the old one is bellow

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Files, folders, and storage

    ExplorerPatcher can give you the old one back. I cannot run Windows 11 without it due to some changes that I think they had ab tested with infants.

    I'm surprised how often I used this. Every day I still try to either click on a folder in the bar or drag a file to it, and then realize I can't do that. I hope Microsoft reconsiders this change and re-implements the feature in an upcoming build, because it is SORELY missed and takes extra steps now to do things I used to do every day.

    Yet another UI feature implemented at the cost of user productivity. The design process behind Windows 11 and associated products is extremely unprofessional.

    No worries, I was just trying to explain the case, didn't know that you knew about it :) Yeah, same here with Windows 10 :( It was a very bad design choice by Microsoft.. Cheers!
